    “Since being in this house, my outlook on my future has definitely changed because of everyone that's supporting me every step of the way,” Destiny said. “I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be here and to have a fruitful future because of Angels House.”

    GBCH&FM is pleased to honor Destiny, who graduated from Newnan High School in May with honors! While in school, Destiny enjoyed being a member of the color guard team and was interested in both chemistry and geometry; all while being an active member of the National Honors Society and Beta Club. 


    While Destiny works hard at school, her true passion is crafting. She taught herself how to sew and delighted in creating new pieces to share with others at the home and even learned new techniques from staff members. 

    “I love to sew and knit,” Destiny says. “I just love crafts, I love making things, and I love sharing what I make with everyone.” 


    Destiny is very close with staff members, since she began her journey at Angel’s House in 2016, she has learned a lot during her time with us, especially how to prayerfully navigate high school in the midst of a pandemic and the destruction from a tornado recently hitting and severely damaging her high school. 


    “I've been here five years, and I've loved my experience the whole time,” Destiny explains. “I've met so many different types of people and I've grown in my relationships; to accept different people coming from all types of backgrounds, religions, political views, and I've learned to be appreciative of everyone I meet in life and all the different obstacles we all have to face.” 

    While life has been a rollercoaster over the last few years, Destiny remained positive and is excited about her college future. Following her graduation, Destiny plans to use her seven scholarships she received to attend Mercer University to pursue her Bachelors Degree. 

    “Since being in this house, my outlook on my future has definitely changed because of everyone that's supporting me every step of the way,” Destiny said. “I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be here and to have a fruitful future because of Angels House.”


    Destiny now sees how God used her time at GBCH&FM to help her grow and see God’s plan for her life continue to unfold. We pray that no matter what the future holds for Destiny, that God will use her in powerful ways.

    “Coming here and being in this program has been one of the best opportunities that I've been given personally,” Destinee says. “I've had a chance to get to know myself with the space that me and my family have been provided and it has been life changing. This place is a safe haven for me, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.”
